Soul joined the Konoha Ninja Academy and attended the opening ceremony. The class was under the guidance of their new teacher, Hana Kaka. Among his classmates were children of famous people, including the daughter of an acting duo, Osuka Kamakura, Himawari Uzumaki, and Kae Yukiwari, the princess of the Land of Bamboo.
Later, Kae invited the whole class, including Konashi, to the tea party, which became havoc due to Osuka Kamakura's prank, but then Kawaki treated everyone to the fish cake.
When Team 7 taught a class as special instructors, they had the students do an exercise about fighting on an empty stomach. She and Eho disagreed about whether Mimi eating a candy bar was part of the exercise or against its purpose. The class got divided, with some supporting her and others supporting Eho.
Most students didn't want to have class together the next day because of the argument. Hana later convinced her to let it go and showed how having a friendly rivalry could lead to personal growth. The day after, she made up with Eho, and everyone attended Hana's cherry blossom viewing party.
Soul was on a team with Harika and Kawaki during a practical lesson. They made Kawaki the leader because he was older, but he got distracted by a secret mission to protect Kae, and their team could have done better.
The girls got mad, and Harika took over as leader. During lunch, she cooked curry and told Kawaki to do better in the afternoon tests. He did much better, and they did well in the tests overall, although not enough to be the best.
They had to put on a play about the Sannin in Soul's class. Eiki and Kawaki had a problem, and Soul helped fix the set. Before the festival, Soul helped her classmates set up booths and decorations.
When there was a threat during the festival, she stayed inside. After the terrorist attack, Soul and her classmates visited Hana, who got hurt. Later, Soul found it funny when Sosha talked about Eiki having a crush.
After Hana got hurt in the terrorist attack, Soul and her classmates welcomed their teacher back when she returned. Because the festival was canceled, Hana organized survival training on an uninhabited island to compensate for it. During the training, Kikuchiyo got hurt, and their food disappeared.
There were rumors of dangerous missing-nin on the island, causing fear. The class formed groups to find food and search for Neon's damaged drone. Soul found it and, with Doseki, suggested they use their numbers to find whoever was behind it. Kawaki disagreed, saying their surveillance was weaker without Mimi's ninken and Neon's drone. Soul proposed using Harika's kikaichū, but Harika said they had limited range. By night, everyone enjoyed their food.
The class heard an explosion and found Kawaki and Himawari. They learned that Hana, their teacher, was an assassin who killed Kae. Himawari thought Hana wanted to keep Kae as a hostage. Together, they tracked Hana and Kae to a cave.
It was too risky for the students, so Kawaki, a shinobi, revealed himself and credited the students. Eiki still wanted to help, and, with Sai's help, they found Hana defeated. With the students' encouragement, Hana's teacher side won over the assassin side.
Kae had to go home, and the class finally performed the Sannin play and said goodbye to her at the train station.
Soul is a friendly and helpful person as she cares about her classmates and works together with them to solve problems. She also enjoys participating in activities like survival training and festivals.
Soul has black hair tied in a ponytail and wears a sleeveless orange top with black shorts. She completes her look with white shoes and black gloves. Additionally, she has four hair strands around her forehead.
Soul is skilled in Shurikenjutsu, so she's good at using Shuriken. Besides her ninja abilities, she's also talented in cooking. Additionally, she is physically strong compared to other students.
